Looking at Dominic Conrad who was full of ridicule, Yvonne had no sympathy for him. "It's your fault
that Jacqueline did this to you. You spoiled her since young and didnât educate her well. That's why
you raised a demon like her."
Dominic Conrad said in a lonely tone, "Just say whatever you want. What else can I say at this
point?"
Yvonne curled her lips, "It seems like I was wrong. It's not that you didnât educate Jacqueline well,
but that you guys are such vicious parents. Naturally, Jacqueline is very vicious too. Your family is
rotten from the root."
Dominic Conrad didn't respond, nor was he angry.
After being locked up and tortured by the darkness for so long, he had forgotten what anger was.
It could be said that he was now a walking corpse.
Yvonne took a look at her watch and said impatiently, "Well, no more nonsense. I'm here so that you
can tell me the truth about Jacquelineâs murder back then and my biological motherâs car accident."
Dominic Conrad's expression was decadent. "Okay."
Yvonne's eyes flashed with a touch of surprise. "You actually agreed so easily. I thought youâd beat
around the bush and delay it for a while."
"Didnât you come here because your men told you that I can't stand it any longer? I have to
compromise,â Dominic Conrad sneered. "And I've come to this stage where my daughter doesn't
care about me and my money is gone. How am I different from a broken family and a dead person?
Besides, will you let me go i f I don't give you an explanation?"
Yvonne flicked her nails. "Nope."
Dominic Conrad said coldly, "Thatâs right. Maybe this i s my retribution. As for Jacqueline, I
completely lost m y feelings for her when she cheated all my money and left me in my hometown
six years ago. So why would I bother to help her?"
"It seems that you're very reasonable." Then, Yvonne waved her hand.
The man guarding the basement door came in. "Miss Smith."
Jacqueline pointed at Dominic Conrad with her eager eyes. "Bring the camera in and you'll be the
videographer. Next, you'll record his words without missing a single word. This will be the evidence
that will bind him and Jacqueline in the future." 1
She could finally know the truth about her mother's car accident.
Very soon, the man took a camera in, focused on Dominic Conrad, and started recording.
Yvonne hugged her arm. "Let's talk about my motherâs
car accident first. Did you plan it?"
Dominic Conrad didn't answer immediately. After a while, he said, "Youâre very lucky.â
Yvonne frowned and looked at him, her eyes filled with discontent. "What are you trying to say?"
Dominic Conrad looked at her calmly. "Did you know? You're really lucky. When you were a child,
you didn't die with your mother. Instead, you grew up peacefully and married into the Lancaster
family smoothly.â
Speaking of this, Dominic Conradâs calm eyes were filled with envy. "Not only that, but you survived
from the operating table that I arranged, from Shaw Taylor, and even from Jacqueline. You escaped
twice and now you have a strong backing. You're really lucky, lucky enough to be envious."
The corner of Yvonne's mouth twitched and she asked, "Oh, you seem to be envious of my luck?â
"Yes, I'm envious. I was born in a poor and backward family, so I studied hard when I was young
and wanted to get out of the mountains. When I got out, I thought I could live a good life, but reality
hit me hard. Life in the city was beyond my imagination.â
"And then?â Yvonne spoke lightly as she wanted to hear what he wanted to express.
Dominic Conrad said with a smile, "When I came to the city, I realized that houses could be built so
high, roads could be built so flat and wide, and the life of the rich could be so lavish. So from that
moment onwards, I swore that I'd become a man of virtue, but this goal was too difficult to achieve.
There were too many people that were better than me. I had to take a shortcut.â
Yvonne looked at him ironically. "Your shortcut was m y biological mother."
Dominic Conrad pursed his lower lip. "Yes, she's the only one in her family. Your grandparents left
her a large inheritance and several houses. She didn't have t o work. She could live a free and
unrestrained life just by collecting rent and demolition. So how could I let this target go?"
"You're really..."
Dominic Conrad said with piercing eyes, "You and your mother are so lucky. Both of you were born
with everything I dreamed of having."
Yvonne pursed her lips and said, "So you're jealous of my mother and me? That's why you wanted
to kill us?"
"I didn't!" Dominic Conrad looked at her. "I never thought of killing you guys. You probably wonât
believe it. I loved your mother, but she was too powerful. At first she said that sheâd provide the
money to start a business together, then she'd be a full-time housewife. But later, she refused to
stay home because she said I wasn't as good as her in terms of business."
He exclaimed, "So how could I tolerate this? I quarreled with her, but she still refused to give in,
saying that the company couldnât develop well when i t was handed over to me. The companyâs
shareholders also stood by her to support her and wanted to demote me to a deputy. How could I
accept that? I married your mother just to become someone superior, but she decided to treat me
that way. How could I just take that?"
Dominic Conrad became agitated.
Yvonne was very calm. "So you derailed in a fit of anger?"
ââThat's right. Your mother knew what I wanted, but she refused to give me what I wanted. She also
cooperated with other shareholders to take my position. It was like slapping me in the face in public
and stepping on my dignity. So how could I not hate her? I went to the bar that night and met
Jacqueline's mother."
Yvonne sneered, "I probably know what happened after. When old lovers meet, it's like dry wood
and a raging fire together."
Dominic Conrad didn't sneer at her. He lowered his head and said, "I cheated, but I never thought of
making Jacqueline's mother pregnant because once your mother knew that, she'd divorce me.
Then, Iâd lose everything. I didnât have the intention to kill your mother until Jacqueline's mother was
pregnant and started looking for me."
"So the person who really wanted to kill my mother was Jacquelineâs mother?" Yvonne clenched her
palms.
Dominic Conrad hummed, "Itâs her. I don't have to lie t o you. She knew what I wanted and I knew
her ambition. She told me about the murderous intention and planned for the car accident. Although
I was frightened, I didn't stop it because I knew that as long as your mother died with you,
everything that was hers would be mine since I was her husband."
Yvonne's eyes burst into strong hatred. "So you watched Jacquelineâs mother come and provoke
her o n purpose. Then, when my mother ran away from home in anger, you let her hit my mother!"
Dominic Conrad avoided her gaze. "Yes, so I'm not the one who killed your mother. I just helped
finish it off."
"Haha. You did such a good help to finish it off. You got everything you wanted without a drop of
blood. This is a great skill, but Dominic Conrad, you're not innocent. You're an accomplice. You
keep saying that you love my mother, but you watched her die. How's that different from killing her?"
Yvonne pointed to his nose.
Dominic Conrad said, "That's because your mom was too powerful. If she was a full-time housewife
according to what she said at the beginning, I wouldnât cheat. Iâd take good care of her. After all, I
really loved her at that time, but she refused..."
Yvonne sneered, "The real powerful person is you, Dominic Conrad.â
